the Whole Foods brand frozen dinner rolls are the best i’ve ever had. I get all of my GF favorites here! I wish they had an entire GF section, but there’s still so many options.

In the Whole Foods gluten free section they have bake at home croissants without ingredients labels on them. The croissants have gluten in them and I could only find one single box out of over 20 that had a label on it. I just wanted to warn everyone who goes to whole foods as this is obviously very dangerous to anyone with a serious gluten allergy.

The eatery at Whole Foods has a limited gluten free selection, along with alcoholic drinks. It’s a nice little place to eat with lots of healthy options.

A lot of gluten free stuff (certificated)
Yes
I had a gluten free soup and ended up in emergency with asphyxia..... 911 plus transportation and hospital bill was only $ 3000
Hot bar and salad bar for takeout items. There is a small bakery with some GF desserts. Grocery store is average-to-small size, but has the basics.
Average-to-small Whole Foods which has the expected staples. Bulk section and salad bar are nice.

I stay away from the open bars for risk of cross contamination but their packaged foods is great and same with the food selection and flours for GF. Their Carmel sauce and pumpkin spice have gluten in it if you’re ordering from the coffee bar, but their soy milk is GF. I would ask for a cold drink over hot as the wand they use for oat milk is a risk for cross contamination as well.
Yes
There are packaged, gluten-free options that are completely safe, but anything on the salad bar or hot bar is open the cross contamination. I usually do pretty well with the soup and salad but have been glutened on occasion from the hot bar.
No
Buffet has ingredient list on food labels however, there is a lot of cross contamination. Have tried it a few times and always got sick from the buffet.
No
Yes
Assortment of options. Personally, I do not trust any of the buffet style items so I got my Amy’s Mac and Cheese! I also got a few packaged desserts which were yummy. They have a microwave upstairs too for my frozen Mac and cheese!
Yes
Good for GF groceries. Would be nice if they specified whether their prepared foods are GF. Nice cooked stuff and salad bar but celiacs can’t touch. There are no labels on the salad bar stuff, I go here all the time and would know.
A wide variety of GF grocery options!
If you're looking for gluten-free foods to cook with there are plenty of offerings. It's a grocery store after all. As far as prepared foods go though it's disappointing that a national "health food" store doesn't offer a small selection of made offsite "fresh" gluten-free baked goods. None of their prepared food items are made taking any allergy precautions.
Yes
Plenty of standard gluten free items typical of Whole Foods. The best, however, is the variety of JPs gluten free baked goods they carry in a dedicated section of the bakery.
Yes
Most of their hot food gives me a reaction, it is because they don’t use a dedicated gluten free kitchen.
No
So many gluten free options. Service is great.
Yes
Tons of options especially frozen products.
Whole Foods is one of the Grocery stores that has the most gluten free stuff, desserts, crackers and more!🤩
Yes
Whole Foods has quality foods that are nearly impossible to find elsewhere.
Yes
Lots of gf options. In chilled section, they have gf prepared meals.
Very good selection of Gluten Free food. Nice fresh fruits and vegetables (many organic). Most outstanding feature is definitely their fish market; always fresh and top quality. Liquor department stocks Gluten Free beer (I highly recommend Lake Front Brewing) and cider. Prices are definitely high, but if you’re an Amazon Prime member they have significant discounts on selected items.
Yes
I can always count on Whole Foods Market to have on their shelves the best quality gluten-free ingredients. I’ve been shopping at whole foods market since 1990!
Yes
Awesome selection of gluten free groceries, including multiple brands!
Huge store offering a variety of different gluten-free cereals and flour. Without oats and with gluten-free oats. I think celiacs find there a lot to have something to choose for breakfast.
Yes
Soup and salad bar is marked very well for allergens. I have never got sick...
Yes
They have a good cracker and frozen foods selection especially for high-quality pasta and breaded items. I’m not impressed with its hot bar items. They have palatable frozen pastries and breads but they are a bit expensive and sometimes lack visual appeal because they are broken or have icicles. Once I bought a box of cookies and went to the car for a carb fest. I opened the box and every cookie was broken. I literally had nothing but crumbs and chocolate chips. I declined repurchase. This wasn’t an isolated incident. Whole Foods should be more careful with the shipping and handling of its gluten-free foods due to their composition and fragility.
Unfortunately, Whole foods could do a little better with eliminating unnecessary wheat/gluten products from some ready-made meals; for example, wheat berries or croutons in salads; use tamari instead of soy sauce in marinades.
Yes
Grabbed a gluten free prepared meal on the way to a restaurant where I knew I couldn’t eat anything. The Pad Thai-esque dish with zucchini noodles was quite good, but pricey. They also have cake from By the Way Bakery.
I shop here frequently. They have a ton of options! They also carry a selection of Cherbourg Cyprus desserts in the cold case.
Hot bar has very limited gluten free options, and even fewer gluten free proteins. Salad/cold bar has a bit more but when I’m getting prepared food I prefer hot. I was going to get a questionable sushi roll and a bottle of GF soy sauce (they don’t offer GF) but decided to go a couple minutes down the street to Wegmans instead.
I would expect a better selection for a place like Whole Foods. Overall, I don't find it worth my time, except for the "Mybread" Pita bread in the GF frozen section. Otherwise, I don't find their options to be all that much better than a regular grocery store. And there definitely isn't any pre-made food that is celiac safe if you're looking for a meal on the go.
Kind of surprised that Whole Foods in-store restaurant can’t provide a list of allergen info of their menu items. The guy behind the counter had no clue what gluten free even meant. Wow, very disappointed.
They have GF options for their restaurant area, sandwich bar, and sushi. The options are limited though and definitely no Celiac friendly. As a grocery store, they have several items that are GF and Celiac friendly.
Yes
At most Whole Foods GF baked goods are in the freezer section....yup, bummer there is always very little in way of fresh GF baked stuff at WF’s
Yes
they did not have many gluten free options in the first place all i could get from the hot foods was mashed potatoes and then had a reaction directly after. definitely some cross contamination happening
No
one of the only supermarkets in New York where I could find a decent pack of glutenfree (factory) bread. You can also buy glutenfree muffins (freezer), cookies, flour etc.
Some deserts are really good but everything gf there is so overpriced.
Yes
While I don't typically grocery shop here, the chain as a whole is a go-to and a godsend while traveling if you need gluten free or any other allergy free items. The buffet always has options, even in smaller stores like this one, and allergens are marked.
Yes
Before it was Amazon-owned, I shopped at this WF weekly for most of my groceries. Since then, they no longer carry many of the GF items I used to purchase, including cereals, crackers, snacks. They have substituted other cereals and snacks that have more sugar and less protein than I used to get. Fortunately there are other stores in the area that now carry more products that are GF, unlike when this store first opened.
They used to be great about listing ingredients. It’s kind of hit and miss now. Lately the food seems like it is not very fresh. It seems like the food sits for a long time.
Great choices but pretty spendy.
